THEY ARE Froir1vEs.
John Franklin and Williams Identified
as Escaped ConvIcts.

Two former inmates of the Hunts
vile, Tex, penitentiary are at present
confined in the county Jail charged with
the commission of misdemeanors in this
section. Both are escaped convicts and
will probably return to the lone star state
and finish terms in the prison from which
they took French leave.
These criminals are John Franklin,
alleged alder and abetter in the escape of
Mccoy, and Williams a consumptive cow
boy under Indictment for the unsuthor-
lied sale of a horse belonging to a Lara
mic county cattleman.
1t has'been claimed by friends of the
dying that he was induced to in
fringe upon the rights of the lawful owner
OF the equine by unprincipled persons
who persuaded him to hypothecate the
horse to obtain money for the purpose Of
satisfying his passion for gambling with
sharps who invariably fleece him. Be
that as it may the man has been fully
identified as a former inmate of the Texas
penitentiary.
Long before the apprehension of
Franklin the officers had spotted" him
as an escaped convict who answered to a
printed description from his former place
of abode. When confronted with indis
putable proofs of his identity Franklin
weakened, but would say nothing about
the affair until the discovery of wounds
on his body satisfied all that he was in.
deed the escaped convict.
Franklin was much chagrined wei the
ease with which he had BEEN entrapped
and Justify cursed his luck and grew vol
uble when piled with questions.
Williams, in Difference to his physical
condition, was permitted to roam about
the corridor. He and Franklin became
involved in a discussion in which
the latter was worsted. This angered the
vindictiye delegate from the Keeline
ranch. and he lost no time in informing
an official that Williams was also n fugi-
tive, having escaped from the same peni-
Tertiary in which he was confined.
Laramie county officials c~orresponded
with the Texas authorities and learned
that Franklin's charge against Williams
was true.
The men were sentenced to serve terms
in their native state for minor crimes, and
it is barely possible that the Texas Off
Gals will not call for them. though hav-
ing already signifed their intention of so
doing, but coupling the declaration with
a clause returning thanks to Wyoming
for having so long harbored the undesir-
able citizens and preventing their commit
ting crimes in Texas.

An Absent MINDED AnnIana,.

The scion of a wealthy family hereto
fore alluded to in these columns as occu-
plying a space in the bull pen" at the
city jail, was before Judge Lee again yes
terday upon the charge of drunkenness.
Since this royterer has become a Chronic
drunk he has adopted the methods of
the old offender, and ten hours after be-
ing gathered from the gutter in an insen-
slble condition will with a well cultivated
e%ffrontery demurely declare that drink
has not passed his lips for many moons,
and that the idea of king alcohol depos-
iting him in the haven of the habitual
drunkard is preposterous, and originated
in the fertile mind of the officer making
the arrest.
Yesterday there was a supplement to
the regular yarn. He had taken an over
dose of a prescription designed to Danish
insomnia. The Judge pitied the unfortu.
nate man and allowed him to depart
after listening to a lecture upon the dead
ly effects of Cheyenne coffin varnish.
Marshal Schritger was present, and
Just for the fun of the thing accompanied
a LEADER representative to the drug
store specified by the %culprit. The pre-
siding apothecary stated that the man
had bought some medicine there the
previous day, but in a drunken freak had
departed without the purchase.

The second part of the great Campo
mini engagement next Wednesday will
consist of the third act from Faust, with
Reppetto as soprano, the great Scalchi as
contralto, Campanini as tenor and
Nannetti as basso. This will prove a
musical climax to probably the most bril-
liant programme that has ever been rem
dered in Cheyenne. To have such a
performance greeted by a small audience
would be a reflection upon the critical
taste and culture of the people of Chey-

A gentleman who could practically APP
p~reciate the force of the following anec-
dote handed it to THE LEADER yesterday
for publication:
One of B~eauregard's old soldiers sent
him a dollar and requested him to send
him a lottery ticket which would win a
big prize. He said; Il was always at my
post and never disobeyed orders. | came
out of the wal without clothes enough to
wad a shot gun" The general answered
my dear comrade. l send YOU IA ticket
that | hope will draw a prize, and beg
leave to give you the following advice: II
you stick to the lottery for tour years as
faithfully as you did to the Southern con.
federacy YOU will not have clothes enough

STATE
Friends VIII suffer Losses On Account
of the Law.

From the present state of affairs there
are prospects that the estate of Jas. Pres
ton, who died in this city under rather
peculiar circumstances about two weeks
ago, will eventually become a subject for
litigation. After Preston's demise a let
ter electing his bosom friend, Chas. Bad
gett. executor, was found. The doc.
ument gave an itemized statement of de-
ceased's accounts to date, and requested
that Mr.. Badgett, in his capacity as ad-
ministrator of the estate, would collect
certain bills and disburse specified funds.
The executor exhibited his power of
attorney to the proper officials, and was
informed that. the appointment was not
legal, and hat Mrs. Preston would be
entitled to a considerable portion of the
property before the claims of creditors
could be satisfied.
This ruling is very obnoxious to the
dead mans friends, but undoubtedly ac-
cording to the provisions of the statutes.
Those who knew and loved Preston in
life and were aware of facts in connection
with his unfortunate matrimonial alliance
emphatically denounce the law which
allows his widow to claim the property.
In case she SO wills these friends will be
compelled to liquidate the undertaker's
bill and debts contracted during his illness
from their private funds.
Preston had sued for divorce and the
petition would have been granted in a
short time, Mrs. Preston raising no OBJ
lection to the separation.
